I'm not a windows person, however I may be able to shed some light on the problem, if in fact it is the same issue I had on my linux server.
Oracle added another security measure to mysql some time back, you will have to edit your my.cnf file and change bind-address = 127.0.0.1 in order to get it working.
Edit: It seems windows installed mysql uses my.ini instead of my.cnf, also I wasn't very specific on the change.
Required "save my butt" statement: This is how I was able to connect to eoc, following my advise is your own choice, I accept no responsibility.
bind-address=127.0.0.1 needs to be changed to bind-address=0.0.0.0 (save and restart mysql.)
bind-address=127.0.0.1 is local, only this system can connect.
bind-address=0.0.0.0 opens mysql to any connections local or net.
Please keep in mind this will expose mysql to the net the way it originally was before the change, remote connections will still have to pass user login verification, so be sure to secure everything.
Hope this helps.
